Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 12th, 2006
The Holy Spirit draws us together today to be fed at the tables of the word and Eucharist. Picking up themes begun in last week's Gospel, we are focused today on the healing power of God. We come with our joys and sorrows, our health and sickness, asking God to be present in times of gladness as well as plain. We acknowledge the abiding presence of Christ in this holy place and raise a song of gladness and thanksgiving.
This is one of those Sundays when we should stand back and marvel at the works the Lord Jesus performed. In curing the leper, Jesus broke down barriers that had existed for centuries, preventing peace and the healing of nations. As we listen to the remarkable story of the curing of the leper, let us pray that ever greater healing will occur within our lives and in our weary world.
We welcome to the Christian Community, Mary Margaret Glasgow, daughter of James and Shelly. May God Bless all of you.
Please pick up materials in Sacristy to prepare for meetings.
